The project
Tolula brought a set of natural shell medallions to the studio for personalised engraving. Archicercle’s role was to test and adjust the working settings and engrave both sides of each piece, ahead of the finish that Tolula would apply.
Work began with several tests on extra pieces supplied for the commission. These allowed us to adjust the engraving settings and details before working on the medallions intended for personalisation.
Once the settings were established, we engraved both sides of each medallion with its personalised design. The pieces are circular, with a small hole at the top for hanging; the engraved text sits within their pale surface.
Our contribution was to personalise existing pieces, rather than manufacture the medallions themselves. Following engraving, Tolula was due to apply the gold leaf finish: a separate, subsequent stage beyond the work carried out in our studio.
